THEvACANT SEAT ON THE SUPREME
COURT BENCH.
A Report that the Position Has Reen

ingiy.

New YoRR, Oct. 1.-THE Times says:
According to tho most excellent authori-
~, speculation over the successorship TO
the scat on the bench Of the United States
supreme court made vacant by the death
OF Justice Woods, of Louisiana, may an
well end, for l.. q. G. Lamar, Secretary On
the Interior, has been selected for the
place. Ever since Louisiana came into the
Union il has been represented in this
court. The law OF that state is, in some
respects, peculiar. II il the oldsiyil and
canon law, Trials are held before nota-
rics, and the system and customs OF legal
procedure, while conforming In general
features TO national conditions, are directly
descended from French origin and retain
many Of the old peculiarities, Az Iouisi-
ana lawyers are the only persons who are
supposed TO understand the laws Of that
state, il has been the custom 10 keep n
OF them always on the highest bench.
That explains the urgency and multiplicity
OF candidates from that quarter. IL
is felt there that the President
cannot disregard the tradition which his
predecessors have unfailingly observed.
According to the authority upon which
the announcement Of Secretary lamar's
selection is based, the President In not
impressed with the necessity Of looking To
Louisiana for u new justice. He feels that
the State will not bcquitc as well protected
10y a resident OF an adjoining state, and that
Mr.. Iamar's appointment will be more
widely acceptable than that Of any man
whom he might choose from Louisiana.
The matter il said Ia have gone 50 far that
the appointment has been rendered Ia Mr..
Lamar, who has consented 10 accept Il.
lie IN alrcady arranging his affairs With q
view 10 the promised change in his official
position. The appointment is likely TO b,
formally announced 10y q nomination quit,
early IN the session ofthe Senate.
